I am deeply saddened by the loss of Sean. My heart felt sympathy to your family. My son, Brett, was one of Sean's roommates and although I never met Sean , Brett always expressed what a caring, compassionate friend he was and only had great things to say about him. Brett is devastated.

I am so, so sorry...

Sean is one of the sweetest most selfless people I know. I respect and mostly admire his visual merchandising talents and his genuine persona. I will allways think of him when I see an awesome neck tie, vintage eyeglasses, and bikes. I love you Sean...Paula

Sean worked with me at Coach before he moved on to Barney's - I remember the day he called to say he was going to be late, having been hit by a bus on his ride to work, but laughing it off.
Sean was a great guy and an inspiration to many of us in the cycling community in Chicago. If I hadn't met him, I probably wouldn't be racing track and cyclocross today.

Really going to miss seeing you around, Sean.

I was lucky enough to not only have worked with Sean, but more importantly, count him as a dear friend. We love you and will miss you always.

Sean was always such an inspiration and will continue to motivate many. He was more than a loyal friend, he knew how to make you smile without telling a joke. He carried a certain vibrance that made you excited to be around him.

6 years with him was a few million short of what I wish I had with Sean. Thank you for everything.

Missing you always.

Sean was a very important part of our family for many years. He spent holidays with us and took great care of our son, Henry, while instilling in him a love of bike riding. We will miss him greatly. We are so very sorry for this tragic loss.
